Serena Williams’ GOAT Argument Over Margaret Court Receives Strong Dose of Opinion in Favour by Renowned Ex-Coach

The impact Serena Williams has made on tennis is unmatched, due to which her fans continue to regard her as the GOAT even after she has retired. Not just her fans, but even the players she has gone up against in the past. Former coaches still use her game and attitude as examples to guide others and idolize. A recent incident around Patrick Mouratoglou, who never misses a chance to praise Williams, has gone viral online.

Just recently there was a discussion about who is the GOAT when it comes to tennis in the women’s category and a fan raised a question if it was not Serena but Margaret Court. And Mouratoglou came to Williams’ defense immediately.

Serena Williams’ former coach defends her legacy

A recent discussion started by Rafael Nadal about Roger Federer being the GOAT and not Novak Djokovic also ignited a similar discussion around women’s tennis. And Serena Williams’ former coach posted how sports metrics should only be the deciding factor when it comes to declaring someone the GOAT.

So, one of the tennis fans commented on his post that according to this Margaret Court should be the GOAT and not Serena Williams. To which Mouratoglou responded, “No because Margaret Court’s record was established before the Open Era, when tennis was not a professional sport. Cannot compare. Serena is the Goat of Women’s tennis.”

So according to him, this discussion only revolves around the time when tennis became a professional sport. And this GOAT honor for Serena is not one man’s opinion. A lot of other tennis players also hold her in high regard. One of them is Naomi Osaka.

Naomi Osaka shared how Serena Williams inspires her

In a recent interview, Naomi Osaka opened up about how it has been for her to be back on the court after taking a break from the sport to focus on being a mother. She mentioned that it is not easy for new mothers to step back into work so easily. But Osaka was inspired by great players who have done it before. She cited an example of Serena Williams and how she was one of the players who inspired her.

Given that Williams was also a parent who went away for the sport for a while and then came back and won tournaments as well, Osaka found inspiration in her. Besides Williams, she also cited the example of Victoria Azarenka. So it seems on and off the court, there’s no doubt as to who is truly the greatest of all time!
